When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WAR NING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

1. Read all instructions before using the

appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific

"PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" on page 1.

3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect

only to properly grounded outlet. See "grounding instructions " on page 3.

4. Install or locate this appliance only in

accordance with the provided installation instructions.

5. Some products such as whole eggs and

sealed containers -for example, closed glass jars- are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.

6. Use this appliance only for its intended use

as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

7. As with any appliance, close supervision is

necessary when used by children.

8. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend

appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or

plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

c. If materials inside the oven should ignite,

keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes.

Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use.

9. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are

able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THEIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to person:

a. Do not overheat the liquid.

b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway

through heating it.

c. Do not use straight-sided containers with

narrow necks.

d. After heating, allow the container to stand

in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon

or other utensil into the container.

10. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is

difficult to control the temperature of oil in microwave oven.

11. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as

potatoes, whole squash, apples and chestnuts before cooking.

12. The contents of feeding bottles and baby

jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be checked before serving in order to avoid burns.

13. Cooking utensils may become hot because

of heat transferred from the heated food. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.

14. Do not cover or block any openings on the

appliance.

so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.

GGRROOUUNNDDIINNGG IINNSSTTRRUUCCTTIIOONNSS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven be provided. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.

Power Supply Cord

1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If long cord or extension cord is used：

a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

b) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Notes:

If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.

Neither Galanz nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have limited use for short periods, and which ones should not be used in the microwave.

RECOMMENDED

Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.

Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.

Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.

Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.

Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.

Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.

Thermometers — Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe" and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven.

LIMITED USE

Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful. You should keep distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity.

Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware— Use these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe". If
